Pez Poll

There's nothing much to read in APJ Abdul Kalam's letter regretting his inability to contest the Presidential poll.The language he used to praise Mamata Banerjee simply displayed his profound sense of courtesy as Mamata herself was carried away by her effusiveness in eulogizing him in the choicest possible words and tried to impart him a larger than life image in her Face book.However, it was any body's guess he'd not throw his hat in the ring of Prez election as he was not a consensus candidate.To start with he made it crystal clear he'd offer his candidature for Presidency in the event he became a unanimous choice.But it's difficult to understand why Mamata pushed his name so emphatically as a candidate for presidential poll in Face book even after knowing his mind.In the present political scenario Kalam has lesser chance of winning the poll than Pranab Mukherjee.So one-time President Mr. Kalam is no fool to stake his claim as a Presidential candidate to sustain loss of face under present circumstances President is elected by electoral college and not by electorate in general.So it's no use influencing public at large by campaigning in favour of a particular candidate.Such campaign might work in case of general election and not in Presidential poll.So Mamata's sustained canvassing for Mr.Kalam has hardly any effect on Prez Poll. So far as ethics or morality in politics is concerned it has been a myth.Now political maneuvering or back door deal has been a part of the game.No politician is a Caesar's wife so far as political honesty or integrity is concerned.So it's of no use questioning Machiavellian machination in politics. It's wise to admit of ground realities and act accordingly.

Fitness test and a tragic death!

While fierce heat wave was relentlessly sweeping the state and it was mercilessly taking toll of precious lives everyday,thousands of young people from across the state were participating in physical ability test for jobs of constables amidst this hellish atmosphere.A job , in fact, seems more valuable than life itself.Police officials who were conducting the test should have considered the impact of of such grueling heat on the contestants.Perhaps they forgot the youths who participated in the test were not trained personnel like those working in police or military services who have much more endurance than average people.These youths were ordinary people who had at best practiced ability test at home, that too not in such an extremely scorching heat.A section of press and some well meaning people cried foul and appealed to the authority not to conduct the endurance test in such extremely hot and humid weather.Even the chief minister herself reportedly suggested to postpone the test. But no body cared till the contestant Avisek Pal(22) fell ill during test and ultimately died.Chief minister has reportedly ordered to postpone fitness examination.Had the police officials paid heed to what press and people clamoured for Avisek would not have to die so young.Isn't it very tragic?
